It also said it “takes all matters of child welfare seriously and remains committed to protecting the most vulnerable members of our community.”Sheriff Whidden was sworn in earlier this year, for his fourth term, as the Hendry County Sheriff.

In what world is it ok for a teacher to hit a child? Un- bloody - believeable. Why would anyone actually want to hit a child as well? Clearly doesn’t have the ability or respect of children if they have to result to this
In many civilized countries it would be considered child abuse. Kids don’t do what you tell them to. They do what you do. If you respond to conflict with violence, they will learn to do that too. Educators should be the first to understand that 😔
melissacarter and Cecilia self are child predators. They hit a 40 pound child with a two pound paddle. That’s like hitting a 200 pound man with a ten pound weight as hard as you can. Except she’s 4 times the child’s size.
This was in a column today via other articles, I am an advocate for stopping CHILD ABUSE, especially what still goes on in too many schools in the United States. I was blessed to attend elementary schools that forbade such child discipline tactics. Melissa Carter should be jailed
This is unbelievably shocking and sickening. How is it not assault? Why one rule for adults another for children. If the mother had done the same to the principal she would have been charged! Why are children’s rights ignored she is 6 years old!! Shameful shameful shameful
